Student Technology Program

Students attending DuBois Central Catholic School in grades 6 to12 are required to have a laptop computer for daily use in the classroom.  These computer purchases are the responsibility of the parents and not provide by DuBois Central Catholic School.
 
To assist our families in purchasing student laptops, we offer a Student Technology Program for parents to purchase high quality DELL laptop computers at wholesale prices.  The "Student Technology Program" will be offered year-round where purchases can be made by parents at any time.
 
Computer offerings under the Student Technology Program change yearly to reflect the most recent models.  Computer payments can be made in the form of a check to DuBois Central Catholic School (payment in full must be made at time of purchase) or through the Student Technology GiveSmart website where credit payments can be processed.  Monthly payment plan options are not available.  Visit the GiveSmart website to purchase laptop computers.  The website will open on Monday, May 13th 2024 and will remain open throughout the 2024-2025 school year.  For parents wanting to pay by check, please complete the Student Technology Program order form provided below.
 
 
2024-2025 computers available for purchase:
  • DELL Latitude 3550, $898 (price subject to change based on DELL wholesale price at time of order)
  • DELL Latitude 5550, $1,049 (price subject to change based on DELL wholesale prices at time of order)

The additional benefits of this program include:
  • Offers a 3-year accidental damage coverage which repairs any damage that occurs to the computer at no cost - cracked screens, broken case, etc.
  • Provides high quality DELL computers offered at wholesale prices.
  • Ensures you are purchasing a computer that will adequately support the student software and applications required by DuBois Central Catholic, as well as meet the processing speed specifications to avoid delays during student testing and while completing coursework.
